Snowbound

In November of 1921, Charlie Sadilek was returning from goose hunting when he and another gentlemen took refuge in the Old Columbia River Highway twin tunnels during a snowstorm. For 9 days the stranded men cooked geese and camped out waiting for the road to be cleared. Today while hiking the old road, we found a stone carving they left in one of the tunnels. A cool piece of history preserved.

The old tunnels have been carefully restored creating a wonderful walking/biking path.
Carving left by Sadilek and Marven…family lore says the young men had a great adventure.

The road turned walking/biking trail has amazing views and beautiful flowers.
